Command Line Mac: LVM basics
http://commandlinemac.blogspot.com/2011/05/lvm-basics.html
Thursday, May 26, 2011. Step One - create a new partition. Create a new partition with FDISK or PARTED. Mark the partition type hex 8E for LVM. In my case, the SCSI disk appeared as /dev/sdb and the partition using all space became /dev/sdb1. LVM is capable of using a raw device (no partition type), but I stayed in familiar partitioning territory. Step Two - create LVM physical volume. Step Three - create LVM volume group in the physical volume. Vgcreate new volume group /dev/sdb1.

Command Line Mac: August 2010

Thursday, August 19, 2010. The Google Chrome experiment. When Google first announced their Chrome browser, packed with a revamped JavaScript engine (V8) and support for offline web apps, I thought I would give it a spin. The first couple of releases were for Windows and Linux - no Mac version. Those early versions were a little clunky and appeared to offer no better performance than other popular browsers. So I moved on. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Google Chrome experiment. View my complete profile.

Command Line Mac: Launching Linux Fireball
http://commandlinemac.blogspot.com/2012/02/launching-linux-fireball.html
Saturday, February 25, 2012. Since late 2011, I've found myself doing a lot more Linux administration than Mac. In light of that, I am launching a new Linux blog. That will have a lot of overlap with Command Line Mac. Mostly for my own convenience, I'll be copying a lot of the Unix/Linux only posts over to the new blog. I'll still be posting here when I run across something interesting in the Mac world, but I expect the other blog to be much more active this year. Adventures with Airport Express.

Command Line Mac: September 2010
http://commandlinemac.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 15, 2010. Dumping a Postgresql database remotely with SSH. I ran into a rare problem recently with a large Postgresql database that was filling up the local disks of a server. The database was large, over 100 GB and about 300 million records. There was a lot of churn and it had not been vacuumed in a long time. When I manually ran a vacuum on it, there was not enough working disk space to complete the operation, creating a bind. Dump a remote Postgresql database to the local machine.

Command Line Mac: April 2011
http://commandlinemac.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 13, 2011. In my first serious test of Mac Chrome back in August, 2010. It came up short compared to other popular web browsers. But Chrome has been evolving fast. And since Firefox 4.0 was just released, it seemed like the right time to run another informal comparison. What a difference. Chrome has become more stable. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
